New Year's Eve Celebration//Rhiannon Giddens

Park City Institute's traditional New Year’s Eve show features multi-instrumentalist and GRAMMY-award winning singer Rhiannon Giddens. She plays the banjo and fiddle in The Carolina Chocolate Drops, a band she co-founded, and has also played with Yo Yo Ma in The Silk Road String Ensemble. She uses her gift to deliver haunting performances woven with narratives about social justice. The Guardian says she’s “a one-woman definition of a genre that sometimes feels like a catch-all for guitar-based music that isn’t pop or rock.”
